Now for details about my card.

I choose the Mermaid Kisses stamp set for my project. I started out by stamping my image twice so I could cut out the Mermaid and pop dot her tail. The image is colored with Copic markers and fussy cut. I added Bubble Gum glitter to streaks in her hair as well as to the flower centers. Waterfall glitter was used for the water.

In order to create the background, I started out with a piece of watercolor paper and applied Distress Stains (Salty Ocean, Bundled Sage) to the background, spritzing with a little water as I went along. Next, I created a mat by using the negative portion of a piece of paper that I die cut a scalloped oval from. Distress Inks (Salty Ocean, Stormy Sky) were then blended into the Distress Stains to create a "frame". The sun is an MFT die and I heat embossed it with Orange Marmalade embossing powder. Love that two-tone color. The waves are from the Big Splash Border die by Memory Box.

The sentiment was heat embossed using Tangy Tangerine embossing powder onto a piece of vellum die cut from a Spellbinders tag die (Ribbon Tag Trio) and I threaded ribbon through it. The distress glitter technique (add Brushable glue to the edges with a brush or sponge dauber and cover with glitter) was used on the layer behind the focal point and the distressed embossing technique (add VersaMark to the edges with a sponge dauber, cover with embossing powder and heat set) was used around the card base. I also adhered some 1/2" Tear-ific tape behind the sentiment and covered it with Waterfall glitter. You can check out my SNS Art Gallery page for more details.

Awesome. I had enjoyed Donna's pretty mermaid earlier today, and this evening had a chance to enjoy your version with the more vivid coloring! I loved the way you colored the mermaid, and very interesting reading as to how you created that awesome background. Great use of the MB die as well, and super use of the negative diecut. TFS such an outstandingly beautiful card, with some marvelous glitter colors. Hugs

This is amazing, Anne! Your Mermaid is colored so beautifully. Love everything you did on this card. All the glitter and pretty layers are stunning. Love the light blue vellum and bright orange sentiment on it. Fabulous card, Anne!Hugs,Eret
